PUBLIC Opinion-the valuable weekly,
now published simultaneously 10 New
York and Washington, Is meeting with
a very general welcome at the hands OF
the professional and business classes.
1t gives In the most concise and well
arranged form, under suitable descrip-
tive heads, a consensus OF the publicly
expressed opinions Of the best writers
and speakers in Europe and America, on
all questions Of general Interest. 1t in
cludes in its departments those OF poll
tics, religion, education, science, NEEDLES,
literature, finance and commerce, music
and drains, art and miscellany. No pub
LEGATION in America covers such scope.
None gives such valuable Information
such knowledge Of the prevailing drift Of
public thought. No professional mar, leg
islator, or intelligent man Of business
can affordto do without 1t. 1t costs much
more to dispense with 1t than to refer
to 1t. With this journal before him and
frequently consulted, no man can be ig-
norant, hardly In error, concerning the
living events and issues of the day. Its
appearance upon the LIGHT table is al
ways eagerly welcomed.

That a communicating and foreign element
in the blood, developed by indigestion, is the
cause OF rheumatism. This settles upon the
sensitive sub-coyering OF the muscles and
ligaments of the joints, causing constant and
shifting pain. and aggregating AS calcareous
chalky deposit which produces Stiffness and
distortion of the joints. No fact which eX'
perience has demonstrated in regard to Hos
letters Stomach Bitters has stronger evidence
to support ii than this, namely that this medi
ci re of comprehensive uses checks the for
midable and atrOcIous disease, nor is It less
positively establis' ed that ii Is preferable to
the poisons often used to arrest 1t, since the
medicine contains only salutary Ingredients
Ii is also a signal remedy for walaria fevers
constipation, dyspepsia, kidney and bladder
ailments, debility and other disorders. See

SENATOR SnRKIN's bill, calling for a
state liquor license Of $1,000, should
become a law. If passed it would make
every saloon in Texas more reputable;
1t would dry up all the low doggerles;
1t would more than double the revenue
derived from liquor license throughout
the state; 1t would decrease drunken.

drunkenness. Give Texas this law.

adulteration OF liquors, and the result
will be infinitely better than the free
